The reaosn for the shows being canceled is often enough this one:
Look its profitable but its somewhat not profitable enoug!  Lets replace it with something that might be even more profitable.

There is more than enough shows that get canceled even tho they are successful and profitable. People are just dumb and want more and more money. Today its not sufficient anymore to earn more money than you can ever spend  in your entire life.  Its about feeling superior to people that have less money and therefore you want to be richer than most people around you/your rival. And then there is companies firing employees for no reason because the boss could just have a 10% salary cut and the employees could keep the job.

Ratings averages has been falling significantly every year ever since the 80's.  The slow fall in the 90's and early 2000's was because of increased cable competition, and since 2005, averages have fallen significantly because of DVR usage and internet streaming. Which demographic do adverisers only care about? The 18-49 demographic. And which demographic DVR's shows the most and watches them online instead of watching them live? The 18-49 demographic, and more importantly the 18-34 demographic which advertisers are willing to pay the most money for. TV networks can't do anything to stop people from watching shows later and so shows and networks are suffering. This is why more and more shows are cancelled every year than before. Sure they may be profitable, but generally shows that are way below network averages get cancelled.
